CRIMES, POLITICAL And OTHER

Where there are political crimes there il cx
ccedingly apt to he robbery of the people by
rascally and ravcn0us politicians. Sec Chi
cago, diegraccd 10y Macllin's rascalty. and its
dishonest city government. Sec Cincinnati
with its forgcrics OF returns TO cheat Rcnuh
licans, and its plumber of the taxpavc,s nv
frauds almost countless and quite shameless.
Now SEQ Indiana; every Democrat uphold :,
crimes by which seats were stolen in the Leg
islaturc and bogus election of United States
Senator was effected, and the natural result
comes in exposure OF most infaniou, prison
ma agement, and Warden has robbed the
people OF $4,000, more or Iess In n short
time. probably, the voters Of New-Jc,sey will
learn that they also have been robbed how
much it Is hard to say by the scoundrels who
have bcen upheld by tho entire Democratic
party in its effort to snatch the
Senatorship for Albeit. The men who are
capable of political crimes are likely to commit
other, if not before, then after, their robbery
Of political opponents.
There 10 nothing strange about these coin
cidences The strange thing is that respecta-
bic citizens arc ever surprised. when they arc
robbed by rasc.lls whom they clothe with ire
sponsitle power for the preparation of polit-
ical crimes. When the decent men of party
wink at the appointment or election Of scoun-
drcls because those scoundrels can most effect
lively rob their political opponents; when these
decent men uphold the scoundrels in stutfing
ballot-boxes. in making forged returns. in vio-

Ex-Governor Ireland, of Texas who in ten
years has only spent one day in Washington
County testified before the Congressional Com
mittee yesterday that Democrats in that part
OF the Lone Star State never interfere with the
negro voters. He asserted, also, that the county
revenues had been wasted by the Republicans
although he could only mention one defaIca-
ton in twenty years. The value of the cX
Governors opinion is apparent. 1t is worth
just about as much as that of any other man
who has no personal knowledge of the facts.
An illustration Of what pcrsistcncy can do
even in bad cause, is furnished by the pass

no reason why Agriculture should have Sec

THE sen TINEL'S CHALLENGE.

Mr.. Tcnnicl. in one OF his bcs-knOwn car
toons, depicted Prince Bismarck as giant sch
tnel standing in front of the closed door of the
Temple of Janus. This was the true attitude
Of Germany after the wars with Austria and
France. Her army was incompdrably the
strongest and most modern in Europe. She
might have entered upon career Of universal
conquest. She might have annexed Bohemia
and Holland and aSsailed Russia England and
Italy. She preferred 10 stand on guard in the
centre of Europe and 10 hold her military re
sources in reserve. AS a sentinel before the
temple, she was ready TO strike down any
Power which should presume to fling open those
docn fraught with misery for mankind.
This. perhaps. has been the best plea that
could be made for that policy Of cxtravagalrt
military amamcnt which has been carried
to absurd lengths throughout Europe The
remuneration of career OF conqucs was not
perhaps an ursetish triumph Of natloha mo-
rahty, for experience with ALace-Lorraine has
taught Germany dat the absorption of prov.
inces wrcsicd from another fOwer is attended
with harassing difficulties. Rut without regard
for motives the influence Of the Umpire in tho
diplomacy Of Europe was for a long period
pacific in its tendencies. The sentinel before
the temple by forbidding the opening Of the
doors avcrtod war. Rut no was able 10 do this
only because he was the strongeot-armed SEN
tinel in Europe. As soon us his military SUI
pIcmacy was challenged. he was among the
loudext TO threaten the opc nng Of the doors.
The effect Of tho completeness Of Germany's
ornaments and preparations for war has been
ceaselcss improvement and strengthening OF
the other camps in Europe. A Continent in
arms has been challenged 10 multiply batta-
IONS and to prepare for inevitable conflict.

THE NEW OPERETTA.

The receipt Of number Of letters Of inquiry at TIE
TRIBUNE Office touching the proper spelling and pronun
citation of the title Of Gilbert and suvsns new operetta
would seem to show that many people are 90 sadly
picked these points that it will % charitable thing
10 resolve their doubts First then. the title IL pro-
nounced precisely as 1t is written with "gore" a.
syllable and the accent Rud" This IL indicated
plainly as anything be by the following lines from
Dame Han,aNs legend Of the Witchs Curse:
Each Lord OF Ruddygoro,
Despite his best endesvOr,
Shah do one crime or moro
Once every day forever
The brain rackng to the proper spelling has been
caused by the published statement that Mr. Gilbert had
determined to change the original style Ruddygore to
Ruddigore" The management, at the Fifth Avenue
Theatre first accepted the new version put latery nave
shown a desire return TO the first spelling. ~"
